Elevator/Escalator Accidents
Elevators, escalators and moving walkways are part of our everyday lives. Shopping malls, hotels, office buildings, apartment buildings, hotels, hospitals, airports, and stadiums use elevators, escalators and moving walkways to transport individuals. As another mode of transportation, most individuals trust that elevators, escalators and moving walkways will not cause them harm.
People step onto them without even thinking about potential dangers. The most serious injuries reported for elevators are due to the elevator falling. Passengers may also get stuck between elevator doors when they close suddenly or fall into open elevator shafts. Many injuries on elevators or escalators are due to poor maintenance or defective products.
Our lawyers can help you file a claim. We advocate vigorously for our clients to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, disability, and pain and suffering.
